My
street is so bad couldn't get out of my spot to take my daughter to
daycare and go to work. I was stuck half in the street and half in a
spot. A tow truck happened to come by and wasn't able to pass so he
dragged me out. I went around the corner to Patterson St and it was a
sheet of ice. ALLL ROADS SHOULD HAVE SNOW REMOVAL. No fire truck would
be able to turn down streets like Pierce Avenue.

Or this one from yesterday as well:

This
is a joke. My street wasn't plowed on Friday and it hasn't been plowed
today. It's a solid 4 inch sheet of ice. I don't care if you're out of
salt. You can at least plow. And we wouldn't be in this mess if Fulop
would just hire workers to shovel the drains clear since so much did
melt on Friday but had nowhere to go so it just re-froze. Iv'e been
trying to call the stupid Resident Response line for days now and it
always takes me to the voicemail no matter when I call. He's a terrible
mayor.

Fulop declared a snow emergency on Sunday and requested residents refrain from driving in the city because he couldn't get the ice and snow removed from the city's streets, further angering residents of Jersey City who had to get around the city.

Snow
Removal Operations to Begin Tomorrow on Main Thoroughfares; Residents
Reminded to Not Park in Front of Hydrants or Within 25 Feet of an
Intersection

Mayor Steven M. Fulop in coordination with the
Office of Emergency Management announced today that City will begin
implementing a snow removal plan for the main thoroughfares and
commercial districts that will have the snow hauled to vacant City, County and State property.

Commercial and main streets are being targeted, as these areas provide
access to the daily needs of residents such as supermarkets, banks,
pharmacies and other small businesses and services. Clearing these
areas will also improve conditions for emergency responders to move
throughout the City.

"We thank residents for their patience
during what has been one of the harshest winters on record," said Mayor
Fulop. "With everyone's cooperation, this can be a seamless process
that will help improve the mobility of both pedestrians and motorists as
well as ease parking conditions."

For days, Jersey City residents clamored for the city to remove the
mountains of snow from last week’s nor’easter – and the storm before
that, and the storm before that. The snow piles have effectively turned
parts of Bergen Avenue into a one-way street in either direction, and
they are making it impossible for some residents to find parking spots.

But
now that crews are finally at work using snowplows and dumpsters to
pick up and remove the snow, motorists are griping that the daytime
operation is clogging city streets. Traffic backed up on Montgomery
Street about half a mile yesterday as crews removed snow near Summit
Avenue, and Journal Square was bumper to bumper yesterday afternoon and
this morning as crews disposed of snow in that section of the city.

Alexandria
Jerez, 32, of Fairmount Avenue, is among the motorists fuming over
traffic snarls caused by snow removal. She said Bergen Avenue was a
nightmare yesterday and Summit Avenue was “pretty bad” today.

"It was ridiculous," she said. "It was so ill-planned."

Ward
C City Councilman Rich Boggiano said his phone was ringing all day from
residents complaining about the traffic problems in Journal Square.
Snow removal, Boggiano said, should have happened in the late morning
and early evening, not during rush hour.

“It’s a disgrace,” said Boggiano, who has been generally critical of the city’s snow response.

City
spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said the city opted to carry out snow
removal during the day instead of at night because the noise would be a
"huge quality of life issue."

“While we understand that traffic
has resulted from the snow removal, we are working as fast and as
smartly as we can to remove the snow without further disrupting
everyone's lives,” Morrill said.
